The block has been cut into in places to represent white sea-gulls against the darker cliff backdrop. The artist has also shaped the blcok show silhouette outlines of more birds and cliffs.  Chesterman has used the wood-grain to represent the sea-water caves and the rock strata of the cliffs above, which gives the composition three-dimensionality and sense of movement. The shaped edge reinforces the two-dimensions of the woodblock surface.\r\n\nArtist Merlyn Chesterman became interested in woodcuts during a visit to China where she saw them being used in windows instead of glass.
